God this is hard. My hot take is that Xenoblade area themes are better than the battle themes, and I really like the battle themes.

I'm not sure that's a hot take! Truthfully I'm not sure, I could go either way on it. I think the battle themes probably have a higher floor, but the area themes have higher ceilings.

It does feel wrong not to have a representative of the 'mechanical' themes here, given that we have an epic upbeat one, a fun town one, and a bunch of emotional ones.

IDK if I'd choose battle themes or area themes above the other, I think the OST is just so good all around. I'd probably agree that the areas can peak higher but battle ones are always consistent.

I'm having trouble picking between Satorl Night and Fallen Land. I don't think it's a coincidence that the two most popular areas are in this poll too!

I barely remember any of the battle themes because the sound of fighting usually drowned it out for me. Area themes definitely stood out way more.

Gaur has made a big comeback to make it neck and neck with Satorl Night, and Fallen Land is still within striking distance!

Poor xp1337 was the only one who nominated Mechonis Field!

Satorl

For the record, I know I missed the noms topic, but I'd totally put Valak (night) onto this list over half of it.

I almost nominated Valak Night but after listening to both again I think I actually like the day version better, I was just tricked by the cool visuals at night.

I was the sole Colony 6 voter! Honestly there just weren't that many nominations, maybe I should've let it run longer.

Speaking of, noms for Best Event Music are now open: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79431865
